Description

unique hand forged hammered men's 5mm wedding band

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This band will be hand forged from scratch -- not cast, punched out on a press, or forged with pre-formed stock -- in the time-honored tradition of ancient metalsmiths, an art now rarely practiced. It will be made to order; please check shipping for lead time. Click "+MORE" for specifications. Find information on sizing, hammering styles, etc. at ravensrefuge.com.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is a band of 18k yellow gold, crafted of hand-milled stock that is 5mm wide and 2mm thick. Dan has gently hammered the center portion with our "waterfall" hammering and he has created steep beveled edges that effect a clean, modern aesthetic. The center portion has satin finish, while the beveled edges are polished. This band has a modified comfort fit profile.

Your ring will be made from scratch: Dan will alloy an ingot of gold, pour it, handroll it and finish it to your preference. Because the metal is cold worked, hand forged bands like this one are denser and stronger than bands that are cast.

We have several variations of this band in our shop, with smooth or hammered centers, with and without milgrain.

This listing covers up through size 10. Size 10.25 and above, please contact us for pricing.

Reviews

A lovely workshop. Heartfelt dedication. Had the ring for sometime now, and feel odd without it as it is so lovely. I love the simple classic design and craftsmanship and the Raven stamp .........I could wax lyrical about mountains and ravens.......a company after my own heart. Very special.

If you need a special ring made with heart and soul then Ravens Refuge is the one.

I purchased my wedding band from Ravens' Refuge five years ago and came back to purchase this as an anniversary band. Once again the customer service was top-notch and the ring is simply spectacular. It's incredible to know that a human being hand-crafted such a delicate and elegant piece. It's really pretty and sparkly, too! Thank you so much, Dan and Laura.

For special orders, we typically require a 50% deposit up front, with the balance due upon completion (prior to shipping). We are happy to take installments for any of our items, as well, with whatever increments work for you. A deposit will get your order into our queue.

If you would like to change your order after Dan has started working on it (or after you've received it), there will be a labor charge dependent on time spent.

Returns and exchange details

We want you to be happy with your jewelry and we will do our best to meet your expectations. If you are not happy with your item, please let us know how we can remedy the situation.

For listed items, exchanges or full refunds may be made if the item is returned in original, unworn condition within 7 days of delivery. Special orders may be returned within 7 days of delivery for store credit only. (Basic bands may be returned for a full refund, even if dimensions have been customized outside of our listed items.) A labor charge for the special ordered ring will be deducted from the store credit.

Rush orders that we are able to accommodate will be returnable for store credit only. A labor charge for the rush ordered ring will be deducted from the store credit, as will the rush fee.

If we consider the sale to be final, we will notify you prior to setting up your deposit listing. Shipping costs will not be refunded.

If two rings are ordered with the clear intent of returning one and keeping the other, there will be a labor fee of $100 for the ring returned. Our return policy is meant to alleviate the concerns that arise when ordering jewelry sight unseen over the Internet. (Dan makes all of our rings specifically for the person ordering. We lose labor time when rings are ordered, for example, simply for the purpose of trying on with engagement rings.)

All jewelry must be paid for within one year of the initial deposit. In the event that an item is ordered and payment is completed six months or later from the time of the initial deposit, any requested refund will incur either a 10% restocking fee for items over $1000 in price or a $100 restocking fee for items less than $1000 in price. Shipping costs will not be refunded.

QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP IS GUARANTEED. Though we hope it will not be necessary, if your piece needs to be repaired due to faulty workmanship, we certainly will repair it free of charge. In the event that your piece requires repair due to normal wear, we will repair it at minimal cost in addition to shipping costs.

We guarantee against loss of diamonds and gemstones due to normal wear and tear for one year post receipt. We highly recommend that all stones be checked at least once each year to ensure that they are not loose.

Any and all warranties related to workmanship and resizing will be void if another jeweler has worked on our jewelry. (Setting checks are fine as long as the jeweler has not worked on the ring.)
